:24:02
From Pompeii.
:24:04
- And from a brothel in Syracuse.
- Good guess.

:24:09
What do you think you're doing here?
:24:10
I'm here to make sure
you get the Book of Peace...

:24:13
or bring back your dead body if you fail.
:24:15
- Really? And how will you pull that off?
- By whatever means necessary.

:24:19
- Did you bring a crew?
- No.

:24:21
- You know how to get to Tartarus?
- No.

:24:24
- Can you navigate on your own?
- Yes!

:24:25
Good! Then I'll dump your butt
in a rowboat...

:24:28
and you can paddle
all the way back to Syracuse.

:24:30
'Cause we're going to Fiji.
:24:35
James Baxter did
most of the Sinbad on this sequence.

:24:41
Yeah, it's a lovely bit of animation
on Sinbad...

:24:43
because he's sort of hamming it up.
:24:46
And James caught so much of Sinbad's
sort of double purpose here.

:24:49
He's obviously flustered that the girl
of his dreams is here in his cabin...

:24:53
and yet he's playing this power game
at the same time. You can see both levels.

:24:57
I think the layout of this scene
is phenomenal...

:25:00
as you watch Sinbad and Marina engaged
in this sort of verbal power struggle.

:25:04
The characters are blocking around
the scene...

:25:06
and literally fighting for screen space...
:25:08
in a way that echoes
that same power struggle.

:25:11
Marina pushes Sinbad against the edge
of the screen when she takes control...

:25:15
and when Sinbad comes back
he does the same to her.

:25:17
- Is it like a tango?
- It's like a tango.

:25:20
And the music is even a little bit
like a tango, rhythmic and punchy.

:25:25
We referenced Indiana Jones for that,
the first time Indy meets Marion.

:25:31
Of the many things Brad Pitt
brought to the role...

:25:33
the most amazing thing
was the sense of fun.

:25:35
So even when Sinbad was furious,
there was that line, "I didn't ask for this."

:25:40
He would come up with these
sort of explosive bits of anger...

:25:43
that were as fun as they were angry.
:25:45
And it kept Sinbad from getting dark.
:25:48
Simon Otto always coming up
with something funny for Jin and Li to do.

:25:52
...pickles, eggs and pickles.
:25:54
There's a person missing
that ought to be here.

:25:57
Jeffrey Katzenberg, who partnered
with Mireille in producing the picture...
